There is no beauty and truth in conflicts, but there is beauty and truth in the Four Freedoms.

Aloha Mary & thank you for your comment. To the best of my knowledge, my student had no extant physical injuries. I do not think any one can return from a war zone without mental and emotional injury. The injustice of a war does not negate the beliefs of the men and women on the ground. I was very moved by the student’s comment.

That was not the case with WWII – while I admire the patriotism of the young men and women who volunteered for military service and served In Iraq – they were misused and ill treated by that terrible and unnecessary war. Too much of our national treasure was wasted fighting that war.
I hope your student survived his service without injury – physical or mental. Too many have permanent injuries that will shorten their lives and haunt them the rest of their time on earth.
It is one thing to serve in the military in a war that is based – as WWII was – on a just cause – it is another to sacrifice one’s life and one’s youth in a war based upon lies.
